Versilian Studios Joachim’s Piano KONTAKT- 16,67 GB
与音乐作曲家兼编曲家Joachim Horsley合作创作的“Joachim’s Piano”,是一款独一无二的采样库,涵盖了他精心修复的1890年代Steinway B型钢琴的自然声音、特殊音效、打击乐及效果声。
为了录制这台特定的钢琴、录音空间和麦克风设置,我们投入了超过35小时的录音室时间,这些设置曾在“Via Havana”和Joachim的一系列YouTube视频中使用。着重于节奏的可演奏性,这款乐器以全音阶方式采样,最多包含4种循环样本。所有补丁均录制了完全踏板和无踏板的样本。
一台历史性的钢琴
被采样的是一台拥有85键的Steinway Model B,制造于19世纪90年代,最近经过了精心修复。其复古的音色和灵敏度完美匹配Joachim的演奏风格,同时,它被以一种方式采样,使其适用于从现场爵士乐到媒体作曲的各种用途。
一组特别的准备音色
作为演奏者,除了钢琴本身的自然声音外,Joachim还运用了一系列精心控制的钢琴准备技巧来创造独特的音色。钢琴本身也经常被用作打击乐器,使用各种琴槌、刷子乃至双手演奏。他的哲学目标是仅用钢琴就能重现整个乐队的声音,从低音贝斯到康加鼓。
35小时的录音室时间
在Joachim自己的录音室中进行采样,使用了视频中展示的相同麦克风、乐器、设置和信号链。一对传奇的Microtech Gefell CMV 563麦克风,装备有著名的M7胶囊,提供了钢琴的主要音色,而一对远场麦克风则提供了额外的空间感,可根据需求加入声音中。超过35小时的录制时间投入到了捕捉钢琴的细节上!
节奏细节
乐器的整个范围以全音阶方式采样,最多包含四轮循环和五层动态,在多种不同的演奏技巧下。这为演奏者提供了一款在节奏上极为满足的乐器,尤其在快速段落中更是如此。此外,整个乐器支持使用真正的延音踏板样本。
Joachim还加入了各种额外的音效和一套由钢琴和各种琴槌敲击产生的打击乐声。
舞台或录音室皆宜
听爵士钢琴家Caili O’Doherty在音乐会现场使用“Joachim’s Piano”演奏,仅通过一个简单的笔记本电脑设置。MIDI表演实时捕捉,以便在后期与原声元素混合,这一过程因CMV 563麦克风装备M7胶囊的经典音色而变得轻松。
与典型舞台钢琴内置的声音相比,这款18GB全音阶采样的钢琴,具有真实的踏板声音和四轮循环,提供了更真实、自然的声音。寻求独特声音的键盘手可以探索各种准备音色和打击乐效果,甚至尝试不同的调律系统。

Created with media composer and arranger Joachim Horsley, Joachim’s Piano is a one-of-a-kind sampling of his lovingly-restored 1890’s Steinway B including the natural piano, preparations, percussion, and effects.
Over 35 hours of studio time went into recording the exact piano, space, and mic setups used in “Via Havana” and Joachim’s series of YouTube videos. A focus on rhythmic playability, the instrument is chromatically sampled with up to 4 Round Robins. Both full sustain pedal and non-pedaled samples were recorded on all patches.
An Historic Piano
The instrument sampled was an 85-key Steinway Model B, build in the 1890’s and recently (beautifully) restored. The vintage tone and responsiveness perfectly match Joachim’s style of performance, yet it has been sampled in such a way to allow it to fit numerous uses from live jazz to media composition.
An Ensemble of Preparations
As a performer, in addition to the natural sounds of the piano itself, Joachim uses an array of careful, controlled preparations of the piano in order to generate unique timbres. The piano itself also is frequently used as a percussion instrument, played with a wide range of mallets, brushes, and even hands. Philosophically, his goal is to recreate the sound of an entire band, from upright bass to conga, using only the piano itself.
35 Hours of Studio Time
Sampling was done in Joachim’s own studio, using the same exact mics, instrument, setup, and signal chain shown in his videos. A pair of legendary Microtech Gefell CMV 563’s with famed M7 capsules provides the main body of the piano, while a far pair of mics provides room to add to the sound when desired. Over 35 hours of recording time went into capturing the piano in such intricate detail!
Rhythmic Detail
The entire range of the instrument was sampled chromatically with up to four round robins and at up to five dynamic layers across a number of different articulations. This provides a very rhythmically satisfying instrument to play, especially in fast passages. Additionally, the entire instrument allows for sus pedal usage with real sus pedal samples.
Joachim also included various bonus fx sounds and a full set of percussive sounds created using the piano and various mallets/beaters.
Ready for Stage or Studio
Hear jazz pianist Caili O’Doherty play Joachim’s Piano live in concert, run off a simple laptop setup. The MIDI performance was captured live to allow mixing in post with acoustic elements, which is an effortless process with the classic sound of the M7 capsule-equipped CMV 563.
Compared to the sounds built into typical stage pianos, the 18 GB chromatically sampled piano with true pedal sounds and 4 round robins provides a more realistic, natural sound. Keyboardists seeking more unique sounds can explore the array of preparations and percussive effects and even explore different tuning systems.
